Strange observations

No waterfountains (or drinking fountains or bubblers).

All beverages seem to be served in their own specific glass/cup/etc. E.g. ordering a water and a soda at a restaurant will result in two different types of glasses. Coffee is served in cups. Tea is served in glass cups. You would think that this would lead to an amazingly large array of barware, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't look too bad. Usually, your beer arrives in a glass that is even labeled by the brewery.

Camping usually means RVing.

Our house still doesn't have screens, but we have figured out to close our ventilators when the fans aren't blowing. So, the mosquitoes are not as plentiful as last year.

Eric and I started having date night several months ago. Every Saturday night we try to go to a restaurant and go for a walk. After several weeks of thinking about it, we went to the Pool/Snooker hall in Veghel early on Saturday night (before dinner). Thankfully, we were the only ones there other than the bartender who looked about 60. We all got to enjoy techno and rap. This while Eric and I both remembered that it had been about 20 years since we had played with any regularity (and for me, that didn't mean that I played well). We were glad to not have an audience of people watching us as two games took over an hour (and I only one the second because Eric scratched on the 8 ball -- I still had four balls on the table). But, pool was a fun thing to do without the baby.
